Storm Remnants Keep Southern California on Alert
Southern California has been dealing with unsettled skies this week, and it isn’t over yet. The lingering remnants of Tropical Storm Mario have kept showers and thunderstorms in the forecast, and communities are still being urged to stay cautious.
On Thursday, some mountain towns were hit particularly hard. Strong thunderstorms rolled through, leading to flooding and even mudslides in places like the San Bernardino Mountains. In Oak Glen, mud and rocks spilled across roads, forcing closures and making travel dangerous. It was a reminder of how quickly weather events like this can disrupt daily life and create real safety hazards.

A Next Weather Alert from KCAL News is still in effect for desert and mountain regions through the end of today. That alert had been issued earlier in the week so residents could prepare, and it continues as the storm’s leftovers linger. The National Weather Service has outlined a fairly wide range of possibilities: rain chances in Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties sit around 30 to 50 percent through midday, but those chances climb to as much as 70 percent later this afternoon.
The storm isn’t just about rainfall either. Conditions have been humid and muggy, which can feel uncomfortable and even pose risks for those sensitive to heat. Officials are recommending that people drink plenty of water and stay in air-conditioned spaces when possible, especially as the damp heat can be draining.
In addition to rain and humidity, there’s also a flood watch in place. Areas such as the Grapevine, the South End of the Sierra Foothills, and parts of the Mojave Desert remain under watch through Friday afternoon. The concern is that heavy bursts of rainfall could lead to rapid runoff and localized flooding, which can happen suddenly and with little warning.
For many, the big question is: when will things settle down? Forecasts suggest that drier conditions are likely to return as the weekend approaches. By early next week, not only will the skies clear, but temperatures are expected to rise, bringing a noticeable warm-up across the region.
So, while Southern California is still under the influence of Tropical Storm Mario’s remnants, the message is to stay cautious for just a bit longer. Showers and thunderstorms are possible throughout today, but relief appears to be on the horizon. By the weekend, residents can expect calmer skies and a break from the soggy, storm-driven pattern.
